My issues with the United States
Getting rid of janitors is too idealistic; kids won't clean after themselves. Plus, in our school the janitors also maintain the gardening. You can't expect kids to trim trees and cut grass. But I have different views for cafeteria. Maybe not at the elementary or middle school level, but for high school I say privatize lunch. Let smaller fast food restaurants be set up in schools. Saves the district money, allows for competition so lunch will be worth the quality it should, give business opportunities (lunch ladies could work at the restaurants), and the students become happy. It works pretty well in Japan. And I'm sure they hire gardeners and mechanics for the other things that janitors do. And I don't agree with a small fast food restaurant. It just doesn't seem right to make school lunch a business. Although anyone who has their license should be able to leave the school during lunch period and get something to eat provided they're back before class begins and they don't do something stupid while out.

My issues with the United States
Topic 1: Personally, I feel that we should adopt a Japanese school system. If the students don't feel like accomplishing anything in school, send them to learn a trade. The reason why Asian test scores are higher than ours is because their schools have people who care about learning. We also need to get rid of our janitors and cafeteria workers. It'll raise the school's budget for things that actually matter. We're all capable of making our own lunch and if the students are the one's staying after school to clean, then they will stop making such a mess. Topic 2: There should be some sort of proof system that tells the government if they're actively searching for a job and not sitting around doing whatever. It may cost a little more but it should reduce the amount of people who get welfare checks. Topic 3: That's politics. :thumbup:

It's designed to one burst everything. It doesn't matter if you have iron, RDS, or Holo sight.

Today...
Why are people so interested in fights? It's like a human regression when people physically fight over such trivial things and it makes me sick to see it. What's worse is that there is no style. It's always a brawl. People cheat, they gang up, pull hair, hit below the belt, or pull knives *cough*deathdrow*cough*. The fact that they can't solve a trivial matter with words and then fight with no honor or tactics really makes me think, "Why the hell do I have to associate myself with these idiots daily?"

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
EVERYONE WHO DOESNT PLAY IN A WAY THAT I APPROVE OF IS PLAYING WRONG It's one thing to use akimbo Models. It's one thing when a teammate goes on a team killing spree. It's another thing when 2-3 people aren't even playing the game the way it's supposed to be played. Oh no they are getting fancy little titles and emblems that I don't have. It's not like it actually is effecting anything. They aren't cheating in the traditional sense (which would be unfair), they aren't actually gaining an unfair advantage at all (oh no they get a new emblem picture) and it's not like it is really effecting anything. Sure, it's stupid that people feel the need to "boost" but who the [bleep] cares. It's more the fact that every other game gets nuked. I don't care about them getting titles and emblems.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
First Guitar Hero, now this. When will they learn? But who's going to finish the Modern Warfare storyline? If Activi$ion sacks IW now then IW can't legally make MW3 because the title Call of Duty is owned by Activi$ion. This is so stupid...

The funny thing is that most already do.

American Education and Foreign Language Learning
I don't care much for foreign language. American school systems rarely teach the more unusual languages and really, the one foreign language that will be of any use to us is Spanish. I'm not saying this because I'm some arrogant American who believes we're the best but because we only have 2 countries on our border. One that speaks Spanish, and another that speaks English and French (Mostly English).

I suppose it wouldn't matter if I said America got the most medals total which means they placed in the top 3 in more events than Canada did?

Justice System Fails
If somebody raped my sister I don't ever think he'll give enough amends for me. The crime was made against my sister, not society. The quarrel is between my sister and the son of a [bleep]; naturally, my family will follow suit as well. And that proves my point: to you, the criminal wronged society. Why should we accept him back? I can say that beating the guy to death won't take away the fact that he raped your sister any more than putting him jail will. The punishment needs to fit the crime. So everything's "OK" because you won the case and didn't have to set fire to the house? Honestly, that fact that you were considering doing such a thing out of spite doesn't strike you as a bit psychotic? Uh, no? Why must every action we do have to be linked with some [cabbage] pychilogical condition? To remove something from the face of this earth, you destroy it. Are you lacking the Logic Sydrome? Because everything we do is psychological. Yes, I'm entirely sure she was a wicked, evil person who deserves all the punishment you can possibly wreck upon her. I'm not in any position to judge (hell, I don't know her in the least), but I can definitely say that the world isn't so black and white. Perhaps she had wronged your family, but as another human being (and one without any support, apparently), she deserves some token respect, at least. I'm sure there's more to the story than you've presented, but even if there's not, no one should be treated with such hostility. To be honest, the animosity you're exuding is fairly leaping off the page at me; everything about your original post practically screams "EXTREME" Too bad: in cases like these where life depencies are involved it IS black in white. At the threat of losing your income (which you need to survive) I don't think people would stop and think about the moral rightness/wrongness and the grayness of the situation. The [bleep] was threatening their assests in the most unfair way possible. Go all out. They saved their assets. They didn't need to ruin hers. How is that not the same thing? Either way, you had no intention of giving it up from the start, even if you had to resort to arson (illegal and generally linked to psychopathy, fyi) Logic sydrome again? God damnit.)in the end. Look, I can appreciate that such a long trial must have been taxing; undoubtably, it must have been a very trying time for you all. However, is winning simply not enough? It seems to me that your family wanted not only to win, but to also ensure that the woman lost terribly. Is it truly necessary to kick the loser while they're down? Sure, it probably cost your family quite a bit to fund the fight in court, but she had to bear the same burden (albeit alone, mind you, and without the benefit of winning at the conclusion). You won and she lost, so can you not just let the issue go at that? Welcome to justice. No matter how much amends she can give, it won't be enough for family. So, punishment must rise until it meets. Really? If that were true then we'd all be at the mercy of whoever for whatever reason. I could beat a guy to death for stealing my pencil because burning his family alive in their home "wasn't enough for me". It might lead to problems later, yes. But you [bleep]ing fought for what you had and sometimes you have to defend it later in life. I'm really not seeing what you mean by this... "than that woman ever could have" ? Were you NOT reading the situation? She was about to gain the assets of 5 familes because she [bleep]ed a old man. To the contrary, SHE would of caused the most damage. Serves her right for what happened. That old man was probably considering marrying her anyways. If anything they should be angry at Dizzle's grandfather for allowing the girl into his life at all. Why is pursuing justice such a bad thing? Thought it was one of the US Consitution's prime duties... Justice isn't a bad thing. What you want is extreme revenge. If the punishment "isn't enough" then you believe it's fine to jack up the penalty even more than what it needs to be. The lady not getting the house and business was the justice. Destroying her financially was overkill.

Least Favorite Midwest State
What's with all hate hate of the Midwest? What the hell did we do? If you're going to be angry at a random state for nothing then be angry at New Jersey. Freakin' Jersey man...

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
The ACR in my opinion is one of the best noobiest AR in the game (Besides the FAMASL). fix'd professionally. And about the standoff thing I cut out, I can beat you 1v1 with my FAL and you use ACR. Easy. Granted it won't be a rout, but 2/3 I will win. Don't hate on the FAMAS. =;

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
By 2nd prestige you should know by now that levels and prestiges mean nothing when it comes to actual skill at the game. Camp more, aim your shots right, and keep calm while playing and you'll get a lot better.

What animal your own weight can you beat in barehand combat
Did you even read the first post of this thread? Having a weapon would give you an instant advantage, barehand combat wise... not so much. I think unless the rabid animal is slow or simply stupid, anything your own weight will be a challenge. I think I could take on say, a wild angry boar or something. Just kick it loads >.> Actually I did read the first post and that's where the part of my post comes in saying 'any full grown animal of my size that wants to kill me, probably is going to' I then proceeded to say I have a knife on me 9 times out of 10 so I think i'm good. [bleep]. If you did read the first post you know know that you are naked and have no weapons. Anyone who has something like a knife could maybe dodge a couple of attacks, lunge, and stab.

8.8-Magnitude Earthquake Strikes Chile

8.8-Magnitude Earthquake Strikes Chile
Haiti had weak buildings with everyone in the same spot. Chile had strong buildings and everyone spread out. It's like putting 50 people in a room with nothing but wood furniture and 1 doorway and lighting it on fire, and then putting 5 people in a room with multiple doorways and little wood furniture and lighting that room on fire. Anyways my brother and SIL are in Hawaii. I should call and check up on them.

Blind People and Braille
It'd have to be in a pretty familiar place in order for them to know where the door is and where the sign is. Otherwise they'll be scarmbling against the wall on every doorway they find just looking for a braille sign.

not helping with your random nades... Join the Fight Against Gernade Spam today!!!!!!! I'm guessing the acronym F.A.G.S. is intentional? Anyways, I'm in a gaming funk. It seems that everything I play I do terribly, even flash games. Maybe playing a little Assassin's Creed 2 will fix that when it comes tommorow...

Facebook Searching
What high school do they go to now? Using that school/town as a network will turn up anyone who says they go there. If you're worried about people not accepting you can say, "Hey it's me [name]. I went to school with you about 4 years ago."
